What is the correct way to press the accelerator and brake?
1 Answers
Correct methods for operating accelerator and brake: 1. For manual transmission vehicles with clutch pedal, brake pedal and accelerator pedal, the driver's left foot only controls the clutch pedal while the right foot operates both brake and accelerator pedals. When decelerating, the driver should first press the clutch pedal with the left foot, then step on the brake pedal with the right foot. 2. For automatic transmission vehicles equipped with brake and accelerator pedals, simply pressing the brake pedal directly achieves deceleration. The brake, also known as the deceleration device, refers to the action of stopping or reducing speed for operating locomotives, vehicles, other transport tools or machinery. The accelerator doesn't control fuel injection volume but regulates throttle opening size - smaller openings allow less air-fuel mixture into cylinders, resulting in lower engine power output, and vice versa.
